Thaya River Border Crossing Bridge (Thayatal National Park)

Highlight • Bridge

Don't forget your passport when hiking to the Czech Republic! A place steeped in history that brings back memories of terrible personal fates! We met a man whose family was separated by the border for many years; they only saw each other on occasional visits. Bunkers, customs houses and the remains of the Iron Curtain in Čížov are reminders of a bad past. How nice it is that people from both countries can meet again while hiking in the large shared national park.

Thaya Valley Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The new suspension bridge connects the two national parks Thayatal and Podyjí and, including the Thayabrücke in Hardegg, opens up a new cross-border circular hiking trail. Where the Iron Curtain once separated the Czech Republic and Austria, the Thayatal and Podyjí National Parks now work closely together to protect the nature of the Thayatal as best as possible. The new suspension bridge over the Thaya is a visible symbol of this good cooperation. It is a meeting place for visitors from both countries, and the new circular route will make the protected area even more of a boundless hiker's paradise.
